.. 82 5 t News January 3, 1985 SPORTS INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) — While his contem- poraries fall one by one into retirement, Marcel Dionne of Los Angeles Kings keeps up his chase of three of hockey's greatest names-in relative obscurity. ‘The stocky five-foot-eight, 185-pound centre, playing in his 14th National Hockey League season, recently scored his 600th goal and seems certain to pass Bobby Hull, the former Chicago Black Hawks star, as the third-leading goal scorer in NHL history. Hull scored 610 goals in 16 seasons. Only Gordie Howe, with 801 goals in 26 seasons, and Phil Esposito, scoring 717 goals in 17 seasons, will remain ahead of Dionne. Yet his climb into the ranks of hockey’s greatest scorers has not attracted all that much attention, something Dionne has gotten used to playing in Los Angeles. “It makes me stronger mentally,” Dionne said. “Things haven't been catered to me. “T've had to work for it. I think publicity, media attention, is only what you get out of it.” The fact that Dionne, at 33, is still among’ the league's leading scorers is remarkable. when the retirement earlier this season of Montreal Canadiens great Guy Lafleur is considered. Lafleur, who finished his career ranked eighth in goals scored, was the only player selected ahead of Dionne in the 1971 draft. “There's not that many @uys left,” said Dionne of the players he opposed in his early years in the NHL. In fact, only 14 players drafted the same year as Dionne or in previous drafts are still active. Brad Park, formerly of New York Rangers and Boston Bruins and now with Detroit Red Wings, remains the sole survivor of the 1966 draft, No players remain from the next two drafts. From the class of 1969, only Ivan Boldirev of Detroit and Butch Goring of New York Islanders are still playing. Goalies Gilles. Meloche (Minnesota North Stars), Billy Smith (Islanders), Dan Bouchard (Quebee Nordi- ques), and centres Darryl Sittler (Detroit) and 61 Perrault (Buffalo Sabres) are left from the class-of 1970. With the retirement of Lafleur, only Dionne, Dionne just keeps plugging away Boston's Terry O'Reilly, Montreal's Larry Robinson, Rick Kehoe of Pittsburgh Penguins, and Buffalo's Craig Ramsay and Larry Hajt are left from the class of 1971. Dionne believes it's been his approach'to the game that has kept him playing at a high level for so long. “I think it’s mental attitude, the way I've always enjoyed the people I've worked for and the chance to do well,” he said. Ironically, Dionne thinks playing in Los Angeles might have prolonged his career. “When I go to Montreal, I love it there, but they're into itso much that I think they're overdoing it,” he said. “When you go to work, you should leave your work at the office and you can bounce back the next day. “Back there, are you kidding? Your work follows you everywhere: Newspapers, radio . . . you can't do anything or there will be something about you. You've got to watch it all the time. It keeps you on your toes and that’s what does it. It burns you out mentally. “Some buys finish earlier because they've burned out mentally. Maybe that’s what happened to Lafleur.” Dionne, who missed just 17 games in his first: 12 years and 14 games last year with an ankle injury, said he wants to keep his physical condition on a par with his of the NHL's highest. — aren hay aware of the money that I'm making,” he said. “I want to be proud to pick up my paycheques. Although he isn’t thinking about it now, Dionne recognizes that retirement is out there and he's preparing himself for it. “Sooner or later, it's going to happen, at the greats: Esposito and company. - “The only difference is now I don't know if players are going to play 20 years now. It seems now when you reach that 12th, 13th or 14th year, there's not a lot of guys playing after that. “T'm taking it one year at a time. ; Dionne started slowly this season, scoring just two goals and getting only five assists in his first 10 games. But he broke out of it quickly, scoring 15 goal and 21 assists in his next 20 games, a spree that culminated in his 600th goal. he said. “Look BEAT OKLAHOMA Huskies stage rally By The Associated Press Fourth-ranked Washing- ton staged a two-touchdown rally in the fourth quarter to overtake No. 2 Oklahoma 28-17 Tuesday night in the Orange Bowl to stake its claim for the U.S. college football title.

YANKEES’ DAYS OF BIG BUCK DEALS ARE OVER By HAL BOCK NEW YORK (AP) — Time was, not so lonf ago, when the first stop any ambitious free agent made was Yankee Stadium. George Steinbrenner had a bulging bankroll and a quick pen, and he wasn't shy about autographing cheques. So they lined up, starting with Catfish Hunter back in 1976, and cashed in at the Stadium paymaster. Over the years, Steinbrenner assembled a handsome array of baseball's free-agent jewels — some with plenty of sizzle, like Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield and Rich Gossage; some with nothing but fizzle, like Rawly Eastwick and Bill Castro. Sometimes, though, there seemed to be no order to the signings, and the American League team often found itself with spare parts — an excess of talent at some positions and a shortage of it at others. Concern for the chemistry so important in the construction of successful clubs appeared to be missing. What's more, Steinbrenner had built a reputation as a man who would stop at nothing to enrol the game's biggest names in Yankee pinstripes, regardless of how — or even if — they would fit into the roster. The policy was not productive. Since 1978, when they won their second straight World Series championship, New York has finished first only once — in the strike-shortened 1981 season. The free agents enrolled.at fancy prices often turned out to be, as Shakespeare wrote, “Sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Steinbrenner seems to have switched gears and concentrated this off-season on reconstructing his team, according to needs. He still will spend when necessary — recent acquisitions Rickey Henderson and Ed Whitson both were rewarded with handsome new contracts — but no longer is he the biggest spender on the baseball block. CHANGES DRASTIC Meanwhile, the Yankee owner has let his front-office people make some intriguing moves of their own, completing a series of trades that have drastically changed the face of manager Yogi Berra’s team. “We're done,” Steinbrenner said at Thursday's news conference to introduce Whitson, the first free agent he's signed away from another team in two years. “We're happy “Yogi's had his Christmas. I think we're solid, stronger than last year, and we had a good club last year.” The reconstruction of the Yankees began at the winter Additi d-sett on an NFL teams selected by Sporting News editors _in- cluded running back Eric Dickerson of Los Angeles Rams and wide receiver Art Monk of Washington Red- skins. Chicago Bears led the selections with four repre sentatives on offensive and defensive units. Following are complete TSN teams: OFFENCE Wide receivers — Monk and Roy Green, St. Louis Cardinals; tight end — Ozzie Newsome, Cleveland Browns) tackles — Anthony Munoz, Cincinnati Bengals, and Joe Jacoby, Washington; guards — John Hannah, New England Patriots, and Sean Farrell, Tampa Bay Bucca. neers; centre — Dwight Ste- phenson, Miami; quarterback — Marino; running backs — Dickerson and Walter Pay. ton, Chicago Bears; kicker — Norm Johnson, Seattle Sea hawks; punter — Reggie Roby, Miami; punt returner — Henry Ellard, Los Angeles Rams.

General manager Clyde King first completed a six-player trade with Chicago Cubs, then swapped catcher Rick Cerone to Atlanta Braves for a young piteher, Brian Fisher, and finally packaged five players to Oakland A's for the speedy Henderson Also, the spade work was done for the trade of Tim Foli and Steve Kemp — one of Steinbrenner's free-agent washouts —to Pittsburgh Pirates for Dale Berra “We had several things in mind before we went to Houston,” King said. “But you don't know the sequence. “The needs were there but we didn't know how they would fall into place, what directions we'd move in.” The Yankees had a small army of baseball brains at the winter meetings, assembling all their scouts for the week, » King digesting information from them as he prepared to make his moves. The first was the trade with the Cubs. moving outfielder Brian Dayett and pitcher Ray Fontenot to Chicago for outfielder Henry Cotto, catcher Ron Hassey and pitchers Rich Bordi and Porfi Altamirano. : The addition of Hassey gave the Yankees three catchers — for one day. They cashed in Cerone for Fisher, described by King as “the best arm in the Atlanta organization.” Pitching was the Yankees’ No. 1 priority.
